[QUOTE="Black Arrow, post: 4920175, member: 3846"] Hmmm, you could also shift "for free" (no move action) following a charge with Boots of Adept Charging. Also reminds me of the swordmage's Sword of Assault PP [Arcane Power]... that encourages charging via AP. Based on the word order, "AFTER you resolve a charge attack..." it sounds like you have to spend the action point then, not beforehand. I'd like to be wrong here though (the next character that I'm planning is a hybrid wizard-swordmage and I'm considering the Sword of Assault PP). Simple errata. "No Further Actions: After you resolve a charge attack, you can’t take any further actionS this turn, unless you spend an action point DURING YOUR TURN to take an extra action." It's also unclear in RAW whether you can take unused actions before the action granted by spending the action point following a charge. There are many instances (with PP path features, etc.) where it's advantageous to spend an AP at the beginning of the round too. General query. Does the action granted by an Action Point need to be taken immediately following spending the action point or can it be used later during your turn (after taking other actions). I'm inclined to think the former. Other thoughts here? [/QUOTE]
